Despite Austin searching for Stacy ever since she had disappeared,
all he managed to achieve was her trail going cold right at his feet.
Austin's eyes raked over the gates of the Ethereal Spirit Cosmos. Stacy's final trace was right outside
of it.
Therefore, it was likely that she had entered the Ethereal Spirit Cosmos.
"This supreme universe is new to me. I don't know how to enter it,"
Austin murmured to himself as he continued to stand outside of the gates.
In the past, when the gates of these supreme universes had appeared in the Sea of Chaos, the word
had spread and many creatures had arrived to watch others try and break in.
But now, only a few creatures came to watch the gates of the supreme universes
because everyone had found out that not even the governing gods could enter them.
Coming to watch was a waste of their precious time.
This resulted in the area around the gates becoming desolate. Only a few creatures were lingering here
and there.
'Since the gates of the supreme universes are too solid that even Humphrey couldn't break in, I guess I
can't either.
I wonder if there is any other way to enter this supreme universe,'
Austin thought to himself.
'Besides, if I get inside, it will be dangerous. The creatures in a supreme universe are generally much
stronger than the creatures in the Sea of Chaos.
Oh no! Stacy could be in trouble. It was risky for her to enter this supreme universe. I hope she is safe
and sound.'
Shaking his head, Austin sighed deeply. There was no way that he could help Stacy, even if she were
in trouble.
Feeling hopeless, he used his bodily movement skill and returned to the location where the three
thousand big and small universes used to be.
Once, it had been a large scale universe community, but now it was nothing but ruins.
A while ago, Humphrey had gone on a rampage and destroyed it all on his own.
As he walked through the dusty ruins, sadness washed over Austin. In front of him, numerous
fragments of space and time were roaring and rushing.
He could remember how much this place used to bustle, which caused more happy memories to flood
into his mind.
He might have been born on the Earth, but this was his real hometown!
"Humphrey, just you wait. I will get my revenge one day!"
Austin threatened through gritted teeth.
"What?"
Something in the distance was pulling his attention away. He turned and his face immediately changed
color. His sharp eyes squinted.
"That looks weird."
Austin strode forward and arrived in a new space.
"What's this? A hidden world? I can't believe I almost didn't see it,"
he murmured to himself.
"This place used to be the location of the Divine Tomb.
Could it be that..."
Austin trailed off, scratching his head. Suddenly, a smile appeared on his face.
"Okay! I'll try to enter!"
Austin closed his eyes and activated his mastered space and time laws. Within moments, he was
heading for a secret space ahead of him.
At the same time, he released all kinds of energy and combined them with his body, using it to crush
the space and time along the way.
It was like his body had turned into a drill, allowing him to pass through space and time easily.
A few seconds later, he fell onto the ground. Standing up quickly, he exclaimed,
"What?
I've entered!"
Austin hurried to look around. He had succeeded in entering the Divine Tomb.
He had thought that it would take him a lot more effort to enter. The surprise of easy entry was
welcomed with open arms.
The space was overcast in a strong, malicious aura. From the fog, ferocious beasts emerged slightly
and roared in muffled voices.
However, these beasts didn't attack Austin.
Austin had released an aura so powerful that it suppressed all the beasts until they could not move at
all.
With a single step, Austin entered the depths of this space.
In an instant, all the malicious aura and the beasts had disappeared.
A clearing opened before him and in it, a huge gray palace floated in the void.
Two huge, malicious beasts were crouching at the gate of the palace, carefully examining Austin with
eyes that were as big as stars.
"Nice to see you again, sirs,"
Austin said, nodding cordially at the two huge beasts.
It wasn't his first time meeting these two beasts.
The gray palace behind them led to the Absolute Space Sea.
Austin knew this because the two beasts had once brought him and the twelve zodiac beasts into the
gray palace and they had teleported into the Absolute Space Sea using an altar.
It was the first and only time that Austin had entered the Absolute Space Sea.
The space surrounding the chaotic space was made up of the Absolute Space Sea.
The Absolute Space Sea was also referred to as an ultimate space. It was the highest level that a
space could achieve and it was where spaces ended.
All chaotic spaces emerged from the Absolute Space Sea and in the end, they would perish in the
Absolute Space Sea.
In a word, the Absolute Space Sea was the final destination of all spaces.
"Young man, I didn't expect to see you again,"
one of the two beasts said to Austin,
smiling kindly. They both remembered him.
"Young man, I'm impressed. I can't believe you've reached the same level as us so fast.
Perhaps we shouldn't treat you as a little boy anymore.
You are already as strong as us,"
the other beast added in an admiring tone.
"Young man, talent like yours is hard to find. In all my days, I haven't met a creature as talented as
you."
They could not help but compliment Austin.
"Please stop, sirs. I will always be a junior in front of you,"
Austin said respectfully.
"Good! It's very rare for such a talented young man to be neither arrogant nor impetuous.
But you can accept our praise. With your current strength, you are indeed on the same level as us,"
one of the beasts said.
"Sirs, I thought you were found by Humphrey when he came here,"
Austin said, frowning slightly.
"Fortunately, no. Before the chaotic sky-devouring beast entered the three thousand big and small
universes, we were able to conceal this space.
He wasn't able to find us,"
one of the beasts said.
"You two are so brilliant!"
Austin praised.
Humphrey was extremely perceptive and not much could be hidden directly under his nose.
Therefore, the two beasts must have a deep understanding of space and time. Otherwise, they could
not have successfully hid the truth from Humphrey.
"The reason we could escape so easily was because this space never truly belonged to the Sea of
Chaos. We could break away from it whenever we wanted,"
one of the beasts explained.
"I see."
Austin nodded.
"Sirs, there is something I've been wanting to ask you.
How are my nine friends doing?
Are they all right?"
Austin asked as a concerned expression overtook his face.
A long time ago, Austin had accidentally broken into this place while he was looking for the gnome and
the Eight Stone Saints.
It was not until later that he had learned that the gnome and the Eight Stone Saints had been sent to a
supreme universe by these two beasts so that they could cultivate there.
"They are all fine. In fact, you can see them if you want,"
one of the beasts answered.
"Of course I want to see them!"
Austin exclaimed, perking up instantly.
Not long ago, when Austin returned to the Fallen Divine Valley, he learned that Violet had been
cultivating in seclusion for over one hundred years. Since she didn't show up even when Austin
returned, he assumed she had reached a critical moment in her cultivation.
As for the gnome, Austin hadn't seen him for a long time.
Violet and the gnome had traveled around from place to place with Austin when they were still in the
Prime Martial World.
It had been a long time since they had seen each other and Austin missed them more than he had
realized.
